Sgt. Peppers Assignment

Listen to Within You, Without You and Day in the Life from "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heats Club Band". For each track, write a very short narrative describing your interpretation of the lyrics and what the music sounds like. What is unique about these songs? Be thorough in your response.

We were talking about the space between us allAnd the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusionNever glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass awayWe were talking about the love we all could shareWhen we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our loveWith our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourselfNo one else can make you changeAnd to see you're really only very smallAnd life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so coldAnd the people who gain the world and lose their soulThey don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may findPeace of mind is waiting thereAnd the time will come when you see we're all oneAnd life flows on within you and without you

I read the news today, oh boyAbout a lucky man who made the gradeAnd though the news was rather sadWell, I just had to laughI saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car;He didn't notice that the lights had changedA crowd of people stood and staredThey'd seen his face beforeNobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today, oh boy;The English army had just won the warA crowd of people turned awayBut I just had to lookHaving read the book

I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bedDragged a comb across my headFound my way downstairs and drank a cupAnd looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hatMade the bus in seconds flatFound my way upstairs and had a smokeAnd somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ah I read the news today, oh boyFour thousand holes in Blackburn, LancashireAnd though the holes were rather smallThey had to count them allNow they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
